3 WINDOWS PRESENTATION FOUNDATION Latest Windows Development Environment Replaces Windows Forms? Better Graphics Better Multimedia Support Different Kinds of Applications Desktop Web page Web Application Silverlight Foundation For Other Environments

4 WPF FEATURES Graphical interface, e.g., forms and controls On-screen documents Fixed-format documents Windows Forms X X PDF X Windows Forms/ GDI+ Windows Media Player Direct3D Images X X Video and audio X X WPF X X X Two-dimensional graphics X X Three-dimensional graphics X X

5 MICROSOFT WINDOWS OPERATING SYSTEMS 1985 Windows Windows Windows Windows NT 1995 Windows Windows Windows 98SE 2000 Windows ME 2001 Windows XP 2005 Windows Vista 2009 Windows 7

6 MICROSOFT WINDOWS DEVELOPMENT PLATFORMS WIN16 API WIN32 API Window Foundation Class (WFC).NET Window Forms (WinForms).NET Window Presentation Foundation (WPF)

7 WINDOWS PROGRAMMING LANGUAGES 1985 C or VB Windows Application Program Interface (API) 1992 C++ or VB Microsoft Foundation Class (MFC) library 2001 C# or C++ Windows Forms (.NET Framework) or VB 2006 C# or VB Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF)

8 VISUAL BASIC Are you now, or have you ever been a basic programmer?

9 MICROSOFT ARCHITECTURE

10 FIRST DEMONSTRATION Creating a default application in Visual Studio 2010 Half Code, Half XAML

11 WINDOW STRUCTURE Icon Title Minimize Button Maximize Button Close Button Drop Down Menu Client Area Resize Border

12 WPF ARCHITECTURE Separation of User Interface from rest of the application Object Oriented Architecture Extensible Application Markup Language (XAML) Code-behind (C# or Visual Basic) Partial Classes Event Driven Logic

13 EXTENSIBLE APPLICATION MARKUP LANGUAGE (XAML) Pronounced /ˈzæməl/ rhymes with camel A declarative XML-based language Created by Microsoft Used mostly for Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) Subset of code functionality Can not execute functions

14 PROJECT STRUCTURE Summary 33 Files 8 Folders Size 133 KB

15 OBJECT STRUCTURE Window.xaml App.xaml Window.xaml.cs App.xaml.cs User Interface Application

16 OBJECT STRUCTURE Window.xaml App.xaml Markup Window.xaml.cs App.xaml.cs Code

17 SECOND DEMONSTRATION Minimal application that still does something Enter text and build a list of words Control Components Label Control TextBox Control ListBox Control Button Control Need to process button click event Half Code, Half XAML

18 DEMO2 LOGICAL TREE Window Grid Label TextBox ListBox Button

19 WPF CLASS HIERARCHY Object DispatcherObject Application DependencyObject Visual 1600 Public Types 3500 Classes 5100 Total UIElement FrameworkElement Control ContentControl Window

20 DEMO2 DESIGN ANALYSIS Entered value remains in textbox No control is selected when application starts User must click in textbox to enter a value User must move to button to submit value Button can be eliminated Words in listbox are not sorted in order Form in static, should be dynamic Needs color

21 DEMO2 CLASS DIAGRAM

22 THIRD DEMONSTRATION Demonstration of two dimensional graphics Koch curve Right and left mouse buttons to interact with graphic display No XAML, All C# Code Fixed size window

23 2D GRAPHIC CONTROLS Ellipse Line Path Polygon Polyline Rectangle Draws an ellipse Draws a line Draws a series of lines and curves Draws a series of line segments that connect a series of points. It finishes by connecting the last point to the first Draws a series of line segments that connect a series of points Draws a rectangle

24 DEMO3 CLASS DIAGRAM
